Patna: Union minister and HAM(S) founder Jitan Ram Manjhi on Tuesday said RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav has no moral right to talk about the issue of law and order. He said crime incidents happen everywhere but times have changed, and the police are shooting at criminals.The Union minister alleged that members of Lalu and Tejashwi’s party are involved in the majority of crime incidents occurring in Bihar. Manjhi’s statement comes at a time when the police have been engaging in frequent encounters with criminals. He said the Bihar govt, led by Samrat Choudhary, is dealing strictly with criminals.“If one looks at the NCRB data, it becomes evident that the majority of crimes, including land grabbing, murder, and atrocities against SC/ST communities, are being perpetrated by RJD workers. The RJD members need to mend their ways. The CM has already declared that criminals must either cease their criminal activities or leave Bihar,” Manjhi said and added, “If criminals do not reform, they will be killed.”In an oblique reference to the RJD rule, Manjhi said, “It’s not the time when criminals negotiated at the CM’s residence. Police are conducting ‘Operation Langda’ in Bihar and criminals must either abandon their activities or leave the state. Otherwise, they will be killed.”
